Question about using ssd

still new to this stuff so bear with me. i am using fxcm demo and a guy i know said to add ssd indicater so i did. he said to set the parameters at 12,3,3 which i did also. when i asked him what the numbers mean he said he didnt know, thats what someone else told him. is this a good setting? and why or why not?

Upload the indicator or a least a chart so we can see what you are talking about.

I’m not familiar with the indicator, but did you try a google search to find any information on the indicator? Sometimes you find out a lot just by that.

“stochastics” shows up on my screen as ssd, i figured everybodys did:)

I believe SSD is also known as a slow stochastic indicator, dont quote me on this becuase I’m not entirely sure but I think it means slow stochastic divergence

yep, thats the one.:slight_smile:

mine is set at 12,3,3 is this any good? im using 1hr and .5hr charts, only looking at trading U.S. against EUR, JPY AND CAD.
